Correspondence OF the Gazette.
GRAHAM, TEX, Jan. 1l.-Within the
past five days three different parties rep
resenting separate railroad interests have
come to and passed through Graham,
which certainly means much and omens a
boom for our young city within the year
Besides the Gould or Texas and Pacific
and Fort Worth Western reviewers or en-
gineers, two men came who strangely
sailed under the euphonius names OF John
Doe and Richard Roe. This fact was not
obtained from the two gentlemen direct,
but from their guide who seemed to
know. He also seemed to know
that he was paid 81 per
day and his expenses to
conduct the aforesaid Roe and Doe from
Red river, about five miles west of
Henrietta, direct to Graham They
called for and seemed extremely anxious
TO see Col. Z. S. Graham only, but this
gentleman was on "scout" with the
engineers of the Fort Worth Western, so
they secured the services of an old timer
as guide and stole away as quietly as they
came, to Ranger on the Texas and Pacific,
where they made a change Of base of
operations, and crossed over the two big
coal basins IN Young county. Unfortu-
natcly for Messrs. Roe and Doe
they dropped letter near Il
house where they TOOK their
first lunch south of Graham, which re-
vealed their names, and also established
the fact that their mission was in the in
terest OF the Chicago and Rock Island
Railway Company. Reporters have been
warned not to give publicity to the pro-
ceedinss of railroad meetings in Graham,
but when we "catch on" to anything out
side we use it. The prospects Tor Ora
hams securing three if not four railroads
at very early date is pa, ticularlv bright,
which will give US the long-looked-for
boom.

Work for the Commission.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept. THE Inter
state Commerce Commission finally de-
cided upon date for considering the
protest of the Western wholesale ship
pers against a Redistribution of the
freight rates in the interest of the East
ern shippers. A letter was received to-
day by the Pittsburg Wholesale Grocery
Association from the Freight Bureau of
Minneapolis, Mimi. The bureau is an
association of wholesale dealers similar
to that of the grocers' association in this
city. They have followed the example
of Pittsburg, Cincinnati, st. Louis, and
other large Western cities in protesting
against what they claim as an attempt
to secure discrimination in favor of the
Eastern shippers. The letter stated
that the Interstate commission had
sent them notice that meeting of the
commission would be held in st. Paul
on Sept. Is. The meeting is for the sole
purpose of hearing the Western side of
the case. All Western wholesale ship
pers who are among the large list of pro-
testers, are asked to send representa-
tives to appear before the Commission
and present their arguments to show
why the railroads should not be granted
the privilege of shipping small quanti-
ty of merchandise at the same rate as
carload. From the present indications
the members of the Commission will
have no occasion to complain about diff
ficulty IN securing evidence. Represen-
tatives from all the Western shippers
are expected to be present and lay be-
fore the Commissioners arguments which
they claim are based on such solid
foundation as to be almost self-evident.

LONDON, Sept. 8.-The letter of Mr..
Gladstone replying to the invitation to
visit Philadelphia this fall upon the oc-
casion of the celebration of the Centen-
NAL of the Constitution was published
to-day. He says he highly appreciates
the great honor, but has resolved to de-
vote his remaining years of activity to
work at home. and to the furtherence oil
the cause of Ireland. Furthermore on
account Of political jealousies in England
he does not think it would be wise for
him to come to this country. He closes
as follows: II shall watch with profound
interest the proceedings of your celebra-
ton, when you will look back upon a
century OF national advancement that is
without parallel in history, and look
forward to its probable continuance up
on still larger scale. That you and
your children may be enabled by the
help of the Almighty to worthilv meet
the accumulation of high duties and re-
sponsibilities proportioned to ever grow
ing power will be, l am confident, the
prayer of your kinsmen here who hope,
ray, believe, that the moral relations
between several portions of one race are
wisely destined to acquire increasing
harmony end closeness."

THE STAR CLOTHING HOUSE

A FREE Press reporter was sauntering
down Front street yesterday afternoon
and, not having ANYTHING else to do,
dropped in to have little chat with Mr..
l. Longini, of Star Clothing House fame.
This genial gentleman has been in the
clothing business in Mankato for about
fifteen years, and has built himself a
solid reputation. Since 1880 he has been
the sole proprietor of the Star Clothing
House, which was established in this
city in 1872. Since he bought the house
the business has nearly trebled, and
twice as large stock of goods is carried.
The store itself is 26x1O0 feet, supplied
with telephone connections with the
entire State, and is soon to be lighted
with electricity. A large force of gentle
manly clerks is employed to wait upon
the numerous customers, and display
the various lines of goods. Entering
the store, grand display of clothing of
every conceivable variety meets the as
tonished gaze of the visitor. Turning to
the left, complete stock of collars,
cuffs, linen and neck wear ID encounter
ed, while further on the shirt depart
ment attracts the eve. Wilson Bros
shirts are a speciality, while vast num-
Der of white, fancy and regatta shirts are
sold. A very complete underwear de-
partment comes next, and is followed by
the glove and mitten department, which,
in turn, yields to the hat and cap de-
partment. Everything in the line of
head covering is to be seen here, includ-
ing all varieties of seal skin caps. No
fuller supply of this line of goods was
ever brought into the city. ..
In the rear of the room is the overcoat
department, covering whole block.
Among fur coats, fine dog, coon and as
trakan and other coats are met with. A
fine line of overaIls and jackets for la
boring men is found in this portion of
the room, also. Going up the center
aisle, large stock of pea jackets and
vests, including chinchilla and astrakan
goods is followed by an extensive supply
of business and dress suits. Going down
the right aisle the wide shelves are seen
loa,led with stylish pantaloons. The
stock of children's suits brings up the
rear. A fine line of valises, trunks, rub
Der goods, umbrellas, etc., is carried.
In this vast stock everybody should
be able to find what he wants. The
goods have recently been rearranged,
and the store now has metropolitan
appearance. 1t is no longer country
store, but city emporium.

The Tariff Bill

WASHINGTON, Sept. THE Republican
to-day says: "The President, ex-Speak-
er Randall and Speaker Carlisle had a
conference at Oakview this afternoon.
This discussion related principally to the
tariff bill, which has practically received
the endorsement of the administration
the outline of which measure contem-
plates the abolition of the tobacco and
fruit brandy tax, a reduction of the GUS
toms, duties and larger additions to the
free list. This measure has been re-
ferred to Secretary Fairchild, who was
suddenly summoned here by telegraph
by the President, and who will prepare
an estimate of the reduction which the
proposed bill will affect in the revenues
of the country. No conclusion was
reached, but the matter was left for
another conference to be held in the
near future,
